With the advancing globalization of the world economy,
domestic economic regulations are becoming more and more subject to efforts
at international harmonization. This book presents an analysis of this
worldwide phenomenon from both a legal and a politico-economic perspective by
focusing on the backgrounds and objectives of international harmonization,
the negotiating processes involved, and the impact of harmonization on
domestic laws and their administration. International harmonization is
discussed in a wide range of cases including trade-related regulations,
intellectual property rights, labor standards, competition law and policy,
and regulations concerning transnational economic crime.

Over the past two decades, corporations and other
commercial entities have used strategic litigation to win more expansive
First Amendment protections for commercial speech—from the regulation of
advertising to the role corporate interests play in the political process,
most recently debated in the Supreme Court case of Citizens United v.
Federal Election Commission. This book argues that such an expansion of
First Amendment speech rights imperils public health, safety, and welfare;
the reliability of commercial and consumer information; the stability of
financial markets; and the global environment.
